- Kevin (9/5): The Thornhill is the perfect venue for a stay in Teignmouth.. - The location is just an easy ten minute walk from the railway station and situated on the seafront .
The breakfast was superb and extremely good value. There is nothing to dislike about the service provided by Sandra Stevenson and her family at the Thornhill.
- Sandy (10/5): Welcoming hosts, clean room, excellent breakfast. We would definitely stay again. - Georgian building, with lots of character, situated on the seafront. Clean and tidy with freshly decorated room. Nothing

- ANN (8/5): - Friendly staff.

Location. A bit confusing about payment & invoicing.
- Marie (10/5): Really enjoyed our stay at the Thronhill, definitely be returning - Hosts were welcomng and accommodating, nothing was to much trouble. Spottly clean through out the hotel. Room service every day. Breakfast was tasty and delicious with a wide choice on the menu. Would highly recommend this lovely hotel. There was nothing, that I can think off ,to improve the overall experience that we received.
- Julia (10/5): Fantastic breakfast and huge room - We had a huge room with an en-suite and a massive and very comfortable bed. As mentioned in other reviews, the breakfast was excellent! Great location just a few steps from the seafront and easy access into town. We parked on the seafront and although we had to pay for parking it was no issue as we used our car throughout the day and it is free after 6pm. I would definitely stay again if I return to Teignmouth.
- Jo (8/5): Lovely family run place with the lovely addition of pup molly. - Property is across from the beach and near all amenities
Great as you can take dogs
Family run and very helpful
Accommodating for coeliacs We stayed in a room with no on suite. I can’t say if I overlooked this or if it didn’t say when I booked it. but it is something I would check again. We did have a private bathroom for our use only but as I am up at all times was a bit of a pain as I thought I may be disturbing others.
No parking for hotel. Free parking 6pm-9am out on road outside, car park up the road which is payable
- Sam (8/5): -
- Deborah (9/5): As a solo traveller, this was a perfect place for me. Relaxed, old-world charm with modern touches. - Beautiful room overlooking the seafront. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows. Could hear the waves crashing at night! Exceptionally clean and tidy room, lovely furnishings, very clean and functional bathroom. Great options at breakfast time, beautifully cooked food. Nice and relaxed. Friendly and helpful hosts. Cleaning staff also very friendly and helpful. Hotel is perfectly located on the flat, with easy access to the beach, promenade, cliff walks and just a few minutes from town and railway station. Absolutely loved my stay here. For me personally, I couldn't fault this place. Loved it!
- Helen (9/5): -
- Hazel (10/5): An excelllent place to stay !!!! - Exceptionally clean and so close to all the amenities .Great room with lots of extras and the breakfast was amazing too. Nothing !!!!
- Michael (9/5): A lovely short stay in an area we know well - Lovely property within easy walking distance of beach, town and local services etc, even a sea view from our room 👌.
Everything was clean, tidy and well looked after.
Hosts were excellent, always obliging and helpful.
Superb breakfast with plenty of choice on the menu.
Teignmouth is a lovely quaint English seaside town. Nothing that we didn't like.
- Andrew (9/5): - Excellent
- Dave (9/5): Short break - Very relaxing, lovely room with sea view.
Excellent breakfast Our room was a little cold. The radiator did not come on. We did have a small electric heater. However, it took a while for it to warm up the room.
- Stuart (9/5): Was very nice and relaxing and a lovely breakfast - Was lovely layout and lovely traditional feel I was happy with everything
- Eric (8/5): Very enjoyable - Very good breakfast, served in a very clean and comfortable restaurant room, good menu. Nice comfortable Lounge. Bedrooms were spotlessly clean, and serviced daily like magic!
The hotel was located in a good central position close to train and bus Stations. Teignmouth is a delight to explore with many small shops, cafes etc. A short ferry trip to Shaldon, across the Estuary is well worth a visit.

Very clean and comfortable
Delicious breakfast with plenty of choice
- David (7/5): Good seafront location , might consider staying again if I was guarantied a see through window! - Lovely welcome from owners son and girlfriend. Immaculately clean room but frosted glass window ,so no view. Very clean small shower room ,lovely towels and toiletries.
Pleasant TV lounge and bright airy breakfast room, friendly service with delicious range or breakfast food. No outside view, and I would not book that single again there as it was a disappointment at £80 per night ,slightly off season.
- Christine (9/5): Great value for money - Great location. It is right on the seafront and only a few minutes walk from the train station. The room was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of choices for breakfast. The shower had very low pressure. The pillow's were too flat.
- Kebby (10/5): Very relaxing break - Breakfast excellent and cooked to order. Nothing
- Rob (9/5): -
- Tracey (8/5): Good central hotel - Location was good - very close to everything we needed to do whilst in Teignmouth. other guests slamming their room doors. Might be worth putting a sign up saying not to do that and consider other guests that are sleeping.
- Jane (9/5): First trip to Devon - Breakfasts - fresh cooked and great menu.
Location perfect - right on the seafront and minutes from station and centre. Nothing to dislike
- Gabriele (8/5): Wir waren durchaus zufrieden, aber nicht begeistert. - Die perfekte Lage direkt am Strand. Wir sind versehentlich einen Tag zu früh weitergereist, niemand hat es bemerkt und uns auf den Fehler bei der Planung hingewiesen. Das Frühstückszimmer hat eine eher sehr kühle Atmosphäre.
- W (8/5): Good place to stay. No issues. Would go back. - Good choice of breakfast as a vegetarian. Clean and tidy room. Very close to the station, the sea and nearby shops and cafes. Friendly welcome from the owners.Would definitely go back Can't think of anything

- Jane (9/5): Good convenient stay while children used our flat!!! - Great location. Very clean. Bed comfortable. Great choice of breakfast. Well cooked. Friendly, accommodating staff. Nothing
- David (9/5): Pleasant stay in Teignmouth - A very well run guest house in a good location. Everything was spotlessly clean, the hosts were welcoming and the breakfasts were excellent and cooked to order. The shower worked well and the pressure and temperature were easy to adjust. The ensuite facilities (room 11) were quite cramped and would probably not suit a larger person. However, I appreciate that these would have been a later addition to the property.

Thank you for a lovely stay

- John (10/5): Exceptional - Property located a short walk to town centre, Great breakfasts,
- Suzanne (10/5): Can understand why people keep coming back - The proprietors were delightful, greeting each guest by name. The location was excellent being over the road from the beach, two blocks from the train station or the shops and restaurants. My room was clean and certainly would accommodate 2 adults. Bathroom was a tad small, but clean. I did have to juggle parking, but it is close to the train station
- Smith (8/5): Would happily book again which says it all. - Excellent location for getting around and exploring all the town has to offer
- Tanya (10/5): Great place in a fantastic location. - Lovely large comfy bed. We stayed in room 6 with a view of the sea. The parking was only a few minutes walk away and the town was also very close. Bonus having a cooked breakfast included
In the price. The shower was a bit noisy.
- Rodrigo (10/5): Lovely stay at Thornhill - The location is great. Owners are really attentive, and they got the ground floor room, which was wheelchair friendly, from entrance to the shower.
Breakfast had the same menu every day but with several options available and cooked at the moment it was ordered. There was no parking in the property, but street parking was safe, and there was plenty of additional parking in the train station 5 min walking distance.
- Merin (9/5): Superb - Exceptionally clean. All the staff were really friendly. Good breakfast Nothing
- Leslie (8/5): Very good - Lady owner was very nice and works hard to make her hotel exceptional.
My wife and I travel a lot, the breakfast was the best we have had at any hotel anywhere. It's an old building but very typical of many hotels in Devon. However the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very modern.
- Leanne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jacqueline (8/5): Great Location. Clean and Comfortable B&B - Great Location - 2 mins walk to the beach, 5 mins walk to the train station or town
Clean rooms - rooms were spotless - nice touches such as biscuits and sweets
Great views from some of the rooms
Lovely lounge although we did not use it
A good range of items for breakfast
The owners son and sister were very welcoming on our second morning On arrival we felt rushed to make decisions as we were immediately asked what time we wanted our breakfast. This was after a long drive and we had not even been shown to our rooms or given a chance to use the bathroom or get a drink!
Limited timeframe for breakfast - 8.30 to 9.30am.
Also we felt that we were putting the owners out of their way when we requested the same breakfast time for the majority of our group, and a slightly earlier or later breakfast time for three of our group as they were taking part in the Park Run. We were happy to go to breakfasts at slightly differing times as we were a group of 9. However, whilst the owners did accommodate our request for a slightly earlier and later time, it really felt as if we were inconveniencing them.
- Simon (9/5): Very comfortable, seaside hotel - Great location on beach front. Parking was not too far away. Room was very comfortable and large. Hotel was quiet and a great location to explore from The shower was a little fiddly to get running at a good temperature but with a little perseverance it was fine.
- Rebecca (10/5): Exceptional - breakfast was amazing, the room had a bathroom along the corridor, but we soon got used to it. The rom had the best view!
- Adrian (9/5): Very enjoyable - Very clean hotel with exceptionally friendly staff Location was wonderful. Staff were very friendly
